About this listen

Systemic Flaws is a podcast dedicated to examining the deep-rooted issues in today’s financial systems. From structural inefficiencies and policy failures to global economic trends and institutional power dynamics, we explore how and why the current system no longer serves the majority.

Each episode takes a clear-eyed look at current affairs and financial developments, highlighting the contradictions, loopholes, and systemic risks that often go unaddressed. Alongside this analysis, we introduce Quantum Chain - a framework for what a more transparent, decentralized, and resilient financial future could look like.

This podcast isn’t about hype or headlines. It’s about understanding where the system breaks - and what might come next.

  • From TradFi to DeFi: A Financial Evolution | Systemic Flaws Episode #5
    Jan 10 2026

    This episode of Systemic Flaws examines the structural transition from traditional financial systems to decentralized financial infrastructure. Max and Nic explore how legacy institutions intersect with blockchain-based architectures, where integration, compliance, and scalability remain the central challenges. We address common misconceptions around decentralization and accessibility, clarifying which components of DeFi can realistically operate at an enterprise level.

    We conclude that fully decentralized finance is largely a myth, highlighting Bitcoin’s ongoing limitations as evidence of why total decentralization is unlikely to be achievable. At the same time, we emphasize that DeFi technologies introduce meaningful improvements—enabling more efficient transactions and reducing structural risk in how certain financial products are designed today. Rather than positioning DeFi as a replacement for traditional finance, we frame it as an evolutionary layer shaping the next era of global finance.

  • Tokenization | Systemic Flaws Episode #4
    Dec 24 2025

    Tokenization is moving from the fringes of finance into the mainstream.

    Once associated mainly with NFTs and experimental use cases, tokenization is now being adopted by major corporations, asset managers, and financial institutions. What’s changed isn’t the technology—it’s the understanding of what it actually enables.

    At its core, tokenization allows real-world assets—such as equities, real estate, and funds—to be represented digitally, making them easier to access, transfer, and manage. This opens the door to broader participation in traditionally hard-to-access investments and introduces a more efficient way to handle ownership and settlement.

    In this episode, we break down why tokenization exists, how the financial industry is integrating it into core infrastructure, and why it’s becoming a foundational layer for bringing assets on-chain.

    Let's continue the conversation..

  • Systemic Flaws Episode #3 | Stablecoins
    Dec 2 2025

    Quantum computing is no longer a distant threat - it’s arriving faster than anyone expected. In Episode 3 of Systemic Flaws: Stable Coins, we go over the conversations the team had in Singapore Fintech Week last Nov 2025, the global demand for stable coins especially after the GENIUS Act was passed by the Trump administration, and detail out why a quantum-secure stable coin will future-proof Central Banks.
